Currently, non-metal and metal alloplastic materials including polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), hydroxyapatite and titanium meshes are widely used as cranioplasty grafts [5]. Although the use of these materials allows closure of large cranial defects, time needed for preparation, shaping and the contouring of the implant
The increased ADC values in patients with CMI before surgery implied that not only morphologic changes but also increased diffusivity may play a key role in the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of the disease. We conclude that decompression surgery can produce favorable diffusional alterations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
